Lancia has launched a new model, the Ypsilon Edizione Limitata Cassina, a fully electric vehicle available exclusively in Italy. This limited edition is restricted to 1906 units, reflecting the founding year of the brand. The interior of the vehicle is styled to evoke a “Lancia living room,” featuring a blue color scheme and a “Cannelloni” texture on the seats, dashboard, and door panel inserts. A notable addition to this model is a multifunctional table, known as “tavolino,” which includes a smartphone charging feature.
The Lancia Ypsilon Edizione Limitata Cassina highlights a collaboration with Cassina, an Italian interior design brand, emphasizing shared values of innovation, tradition, and environmental awareness. The vehicle is distinguished in its category by offering a 10.25-inch display, parking aid, and an advanced exterior lighting system. It also features standard Level 2 Autonomous Driving, making it unique in its segment.
This model is the first to incorporate Lancia’s S.A.L.A. infotainment system, designed to enhance driving comfort. The electric motor provides a range of up to 403 kilometers per charge, with rapid charging capabilities allowing for 100 kilometers of range in under 10 minutes. Additionally, the Ypsilon Edizione Limitata Cassina supports Free2move Charge, which simplifies the charging process both at home and on the road, in alignment with Stellantis’ “Dare Forward” strategic plan.
An exclusive financial offer for this vehicle includes a down payment followed by monthly installments, along with a home charging solution and a three-year warranty. The promotional campaign compares the car’s design and comfort to a stylish Italian home. The new Ypsilon is the first of three models in Lancia’s strategic plan, which focuses on electrification, a new distribution model, and a return to European markets starting in 2024.
Luca Napolitano, CEO of Lancia, highlighted that the model’s design draws from Lancia’s heritage and aims to represent the pinnacle of onboard comfort and design. The collaboration with Cassina has been noted as a significant factor in achieving this vision.
